I would assume that what might survive is well known (zone ratings etc.) but a lot depends on luck, some ground has disease in it, or is too wet (or dry), or is somewhere mice feel safe. The same bulbs elsewhere in the same garden will survive for many years. Maybe worth looking at the wiki pages on 'legacy bulbs': http://pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/… which discusses bulbs that survive a long time. -- David Pilling email: david@pilling.demon.co.uk web: http://www.davidpilling.net/ post: David Pilling, P.O.
